To manually configure the CP server

1. Stop VCS on each node in the CP server cluster using the following command:

   # hastop -local

2. Edit the main.cf file to add the CPSSG service group on any node. Use the CPSSG service group in the main.cf as an example:

   Customize the resources under the CPSSG service group as per your configuration.

3. Verify the main.cf file using the following command:

   # hacf -verify /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config

   If successfully verified, copy this main.cf to all other cluster nodes.

4. Create the /etc/vxcps.conf file using the sample configuration file provided at /etc/vxcps/vxcps.conf.sample.

   Based on whether you have configured the CP server cluster in secure mode or not, do the following:

   • For a CP server cluster which is configured in secure mode, edit the /etc/vxcps.conf file to set security=1.

   • For a CP server cluster which is not configured in secure mode, edit the /etc/vxcps.conf file to set security=0.

   Symantec recommends enabling security for communication between CP server and the application clusters.

5. Start VCS on all the cluster nodes.

   # hastart

6. Verify that the CP server service group (CPSSG) is online.

   # hagrp -state CPSSG

   Output similar to the following appears:

   # Group Attribute  System                     Value
